Initiatives

• The 3M Fellows Think Tank was held on May 5, 6 and 7, 2003 in Toronto. One of the more important decisions made by the group was to organize formally as a Council of 3M Teaching Fellows as a constituency within STLHE.

 

• Making a Difference: A Celebration of the 3M National Teaching Fellowships—The book has been described in The Teaching Professor as “(…) a marvellous affirmation of how teaching inspires, enriches and satisfies both teachers and students. If you need a shot in your teaching arm, this book will supply it.” (Maryellen Weimer).

 

• Silences in Teaching and Learning—Silences in teaching and learning is a groundbreaking book that has stepped outside of traditional academic writing, research, expertise. The very nature of silence and its resistance to language; the fact that this is a nascent topic within the academy; the editorial request that the writers write in an unconventional form and style; this is a risk-taking book.
